Release Checklist

Combined checklist for human and AI assistant. AI executes each step and reports the result. Human confirms before moving to the next block.

---

Block 1 — Pre-release check

AI runs these checks and reports any issues.

• Working branch is main and is up to date with remote
• No uncommitted changes (git status is clean)
• CI is green on the latest commit
• npm run release:dry runs without errors — AI pastes the output for review

→ Human confirms output looks correct before continuing.

---

Block 2 — Version decision

Human decides, AI confirms the command to run.

• Release type selected: patch | minor | major
• CHANGELOG entries reflect what is actually shipping

→ Human confirms version bump and changelog before AI proceeds.

---

Block 3 — Release

AI runs the release command.

• npm run release:<type> executed
• Git tag created and pushed
• CHANGELOG.md updated
• package.json version bumped

→ Human verifies the tag and changelog on GitHub before continuing.

---

Block 4 — Post-release

• GitHub Release created (manually or via release-it config)
• Release announced in the team channel (if applicable)
• decisions.md updated if any process decisions were made during the release

→ Done. Human closes the checklist.
